✎ HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION
A brigandine is a form of body armour from the Middle Ages. It is a cloth garment, generally canvas or leather, lined with small oblong steel plates riveted to the fabric. Later Brigandines first appeared towards the end of the 14th century, but survived beyond this transitional period between mail and plate, and came into wide use in the 15th century, remaining in use well into the 16th. 15th century brigandines are generally front-opening garments with the nails arranged in triangular groups of three, while 16th century brigandines generally have smaller plates with the rivets arranged in rows.

▨ v1.0 - Initial release
Quite fantastic
I gotta say, this is one of my favorite suits of armour in SL. Decent fitting, appears bulky like a proper coat of plates, and eschews away from the high fantasy stuff with lots of bulky prims that look like WoW. A must have for any man-at-arms with an eye for period gear.
Nice and authentic product
It's rare to see historically accurate medieval things on sl. I really like this brigandine with all the details.
